Oh damn that's me! I haven't watched show girls, but I was just talking about doing so like 2 days ago! Crazy! I liked Elle quite a bit. I am also the kind of person who finds great value in movies other people seem to think are bad for some reason (Beach Bum being the most recent masterpiece I can think of haha). I am gonna watch it and check out the doc; thanks for the rec!
Showgirls is such a fun movie! I’ve always thought of it being in the same canon as the “midnight movie” despite it having a bigger budget and higher production value than those movies usually did. It’s just unashamedly campy and fun. I haven’t seen this documentary but it’s now on my radar. Thanks!
